Episode #102 How to Speak so Your Message is Clear
Welcome to the show!
Today I’m talking about the phrase you’ve heard me use a lot, “We Don’t Know What You Know”.
A mistake I see people make far too often is not clearly present in words or voice their message.
You are the expert and often times you forget we aren’t.
Even if we are in the same industry as you, we don’t know what you know.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what you need to do so that your message is clear. We want a clear message because that’s how people will stay with us and not check out. In order to compel people to take action, we have to make our message clear in such a way that they can follow it. If we can’t follow you, chances are good you won’t captivate us.
Are you ready to speak your truth and use your voice to captivate, connect and compel in 2018? If not, then let’s talk. Reach out to tracy@captivatetheroom.com

Episode #100 Responding w/ Your Voice Not Reacting, Job Interview Series 2/3
Welcome to the show.
Today I have the second installment of our series on voice for job interviews. Now, these shows are directed to voice for job interviews but honestly, these voice techniques will work in every area of your life.
Today we are talking about what happens to your voice when you respond vs. when you react.
Certain voice elements like fast and loud can present you in a way that makes you sound like your reacting. What we want is for you to respond.
Responding is more conversational, it’s more mindful, it’s more thoughtful.
In addition to loud and fast, not listening, not breathing, not pausing and simply just regurgitating words will also make it sound like your reacting.
You’ll find out all about it in today’s episode.

Episode #88 Creating Connection w/ Your Voice Job Interview Series 1/3
Welcome to the show!
Today I’m starting a short series that is primarily directed to voice and interviewing for a job or a higher level position. However, the voice technique that I’m talking about in this 3 part series is applicable and valuable for all conversations and presentations.
Today I’m focusing on creating connections through the use of your voice.
In order to get rid of the voice barriers and stiff, edgy voice that is hard to connect to, we’ve got to get you out of your head.
When you are in your head, thinking about what your saying/going to say, it changes the way your voice sounds and does not present you in the best light, no matter what your words are.
If you are going to job interviews and not getting the job, I would almost guarantee the problem is in your voice!

Guest Bio
Filip Valica has been a mechanical engineer and manager for over 12 years, designing, testing and building products. He has worked for a broad range of companies – from mom-and-pop small businesses to some of the largest corporations in the US. Filip founded The Product Startup to provide a step-by-step blueprint to aspiring product creators wanting to bring their own ideas to market.
Along with his mother, Filip came to the United States as a political refugee from Czechoslovakia when he was 7 years old. They arrived with two suitcases and $80 in cash and left behind all of their family. His journey and success in the United States prove that it’s possible to create your own luck through hard work.
At an early age, Filip became the “man-of-the-house” and was responsible for fixing things around the house. After college, he pooled his savings, borrowed money from his friends, bought an inhabitable foreclosure and spent the next 2 years to make it livable.
Filip lives in Houston, Texas with his wife and daughter. After his daughter was born, he realized that he needed to focus on his passion and soon launched The Product Startup.
Filip believes that anyone can develop a product using recent advances in technology and tools – and by following the same road map many other companies currently use to commercialize their ideas. On his podcast, Filip interviews other founders and shows listeners a how they can build their products and brands on a tight budget. His hands-on point of view resonates with other action-oriented small business owners and entrepreneurs. You can find out more about Filip at https://theproductstartup.com/
